Revisiting DEX

[Reynhart]

If they both went up by 1%, then that means in total, it is 2% up.

It's totally not how you calculate probabilities.

Understood. I just simplified it by adding it both up. I know it is less than 2% if both blocking and parry goes up by 1% which is probably an error of his account.

However, if 40 points of DEX increases both blocking and parry, than it is not as bad as he makes it out to be. 40 points is pretty easily gotten.
The chest and pants probably around 30~35. So getting 80 from the whole set isn't that hard. And if you are really freaky and want to experiment, add another 40 from the novus.
